Almost all of the real world problems here could be solved if Clib/libc had more real world user functions. What about something like

if (stdio_raw(1)==0)
{
// I am in raw mode
}
else
{
//something went wrong
}

The c runtime can even track if raw is on or off, or simply reset to non raw on crashes.......

Its piss poor API for userland applications not the kernel that makes *nix a bit of a suck to code.
